29'. Scrobal grooves not extending below toruli in many species, frequently very distant from each other in middle or ventrally. Face in most species with a characteristic cross-ridge between toruli and mouth (aa1); when collapsed, face not collapsing below toruli. Clypeus either outlined by sutures, or cross-ridge present, or with convex apical margin. Male genitalia with volsellar setae grossly enlarged (bb1, bb2: s) in nearly all species, sometimes visible on ventral side of genitalia without slide-mounting (bb3--volsellae indicated with arrow on whole mount).
